    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    I usually get a bloke ringing me from the tele-sales and we have a laugh and a joke and I've bought a couple of packs that way (returning stuff I didn't sell) but none of the MMs have been suitable. I'm always honest but polite about whether I'm interested or not. The other week they had 2 packs, 1 make-up and 1 jewellery. I listen to the make-up pack and was happy to buy that one, but I said "Before you go on to the jewellery one, I don't sell much jewellery so it would be a waste of both our time for you to give me that pitch." We laughed and he said thanks and end of.

    This latest time I had a woman ring me and she was really pushy insisting I should buy the MM :mad: Shortened version is
    Me: Thanks but no thanks. I don't have the money to invest this time in a pack.
    Her: But you don't have to pay until C11 so you don't need to worry.
    Me: I've not got the money, and I know I won't have the money for the next couple of months as I have a number of big one off bills, so no tha...
    Her: But you can sell them and make more income...
    Me: I said no thank you. *hangs up* :mad:

    I now have the number stored in my phone and I won't be answering it when I haven't got the money. I know they probably work on commission as well, but if they won't take no for an answer then they can get lost and I will be rude and hang up on them.

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Hello ladies...

    I haven't posted on here in ages but I do lurk and I was wondering if you ladies would be able to help me please?

    I'm currently on C10 and want to know if the baby changing bag appears in any of the next few campaigns?

    Many thanks in advance for your help!

    P.S. CONGRATULATIONS LOZZA :j :j :D

    I've only got c11 in, but the change bag isn't in there, if I remember tomorrow night I'll search the online brochures to see if its in a later book :)

    pretty sure it is in the clearance section of the new version of HT (can't remember what they've renamed it!)

    have just checked the online brochures, and it's in the sale brochure for campaign 12 at £15 (so the same price as it is in brochure 9).

    Have also updated the links on the first post, so there's up to C13 on there now :)

    Hi ladies, nearly delivered all of my C9 orders. It's great to have so many this time (£345 :eek::T) but it is a logistical nightmare getting them all out!
    Never mind :cool: I am prepping C10 now so I hope I am not disappointed if the sales aren't as high this time. It's mostly from my new roads and a few new customers from my old (it's only my 3rd campaign but you know what I mean!) roads...

    A new customer asked if I knew where she could find the Anew peelable face mask that she used to buy. I couldn't find it in any of my brochures, does anyone know what she means and if they still do it?
    I did post on Connects but yet to get a reply.
    Thanks x

    Yes it pays to be organised with your orders, I always have to type myself out a list so I know who I have to go I and if they want a different day/time write it on there else I'd forget! I also write on the outside of the boxes which streets orders are in there to make it a bit quicker finding them when I'm out delivering.

    If its the face mask I'm thinking off (can't remember the proper name for it), I don't remember seeing it in the books for quite a while, I think it was discontinued last year. Ill have a look later and see if there's anything I can suggest as an alternative.

    There isn't an anew peelable face mask anymore, there is one in the clearskin range though - not sure it will have the same effect but worth a try with the 90 day money back guarantee.
